Be the Second-in-Command, Marrying Your Strategic Vision with Tactical Excellence to Turbocharge Your Career in this Not-Your-Average Assistant Role
Don't be fooled by the title--this is a hands-on leadership opportunity to partner with a seasoned Plant Manager, learning all facets--from safety & staffing to forecasting & planning--for a well oiled manufacturing plant where you'll enjoy the “best of both worlds” on multiple levels:
If you've ever wanted to run your own operation without the risk of business ownership, this is it…you'll get the keys to the kingdom and the resources you need and can marry your strategic vision with tactical excellence to create a self-sustaining plant.

With strong growth and turbocharged expansion, you'll be groomed not just for the Plant Manager role, but the sky's the limit (a former Plant Manager is now VP of Operations) depending on your passion and aptitude.

At a high level, you'll spend about 70% of your time overseeing production, safety, quality, staffing and material management; and the remaining 30% with big picture forecasting and planning. While maintaining the utmost focus on a safety first culture, specifically, your responsibilities will be to:

Assist the Plant Manager in creating a safe working environment, ensuring implementation of plant safety policies, procedures, and programs.
Making recommendations and assisting the Plant Manager in developing the operating plan and monitoring results against the plan; assist in other areas including but not limited to safety management, quality assurance, office administration and risk management.

Direct and coordinate the activities assigned to obtain maximum efficiency of operations to meet production needs.
Lead a team of employees with a strong emphasis on safety, quality, and production.
Train and coach supervisors and hourly personnel.
Confer with the Plant Manager to establish working schedules for all production.
Adhere to budget for all departments, including maintenance supplies.

What's in It for You?
Discernible, visible impact to make a good thing even better -- If you have a passion for safety, maintenance and lean methodology, this is your chance to influence our manufacturing site, driving continuous improvements to push it to the next level.
Stepping stone for career growth -- All Plant Managers are birthed from this role and we place a strong emphasis on employee development and succession planning and you will be ideally positioned to pursue other career advancement opportunities, based on your ambition and aptitude.
Our people are our most valuable resource -- We run collaborative teams, respect individual and team contributions and have a “ground-up” management view. People enjoy working here, as demonstrated by employee longevity.
Excellent compensation -- In addition to a competitive salary and bonus opportunity, we offer a comprehensive benefits package including a range of insurances, PTO, and a 401(k) with company match.
Pride in product -- Roof tiles, when used as part of our Cool Roof System, can help reduce attic temperature by as much as 45°. Our Cool Roof System has been featured in Florida Roofing Magazine, Texas Builder Magazine, Western Roofing and other industry publications.
Keys to Success
The ultimate metric of success is to create a self-sustaining plant where both the Plant Manager and Assistant Manager can walk away without a care, knowing they've empowered the employees with best practices so the plant can run smoothly like a well oiled machine. So, we'll look to you to bring a strong sense of ownership, not needing a permission slip to infuse fresh perspective and drive continuous improvement.
As a leader who can promote a safety-first culture, you'll espouse a collaborative leadership style, leading by example and motivating the team around a shared vision. You'll also showcase interpersonal savvy—including strong oral and written communication skills—to deal with diverse personalities on the production floor and also communicate upward, authoring reports and presentations, as needed. And finally, we run lean and flat and will look to you to stay flexible with the ever evolving needs of the business, stepping in to take other shifts and doing whatever it takes to continually meet and exceed our objectives.
